Debt Charities under pressure

Hello all you lovely DFW's.
I'm looking for your help - I am writing an article for a Scottish charity magazine about how the rapidly rising levels of consumer debt are impacting on the voluntary sector - Citizen's Advice, CCCS, Credit Unions etc. It is mainly concentrating on low income families and the help that is available, and also where this help fails and people resort to doorstep lenders/high interest loans because "normal" credit is not accessible.
I am looking for someone who has experienced problems because of their low income and has not been able to access help, or has had a long wait for advice. If you could help me (your name would not be mentioned), please post here, or PM me.
Thanks,
dj
